Embodiment Construction

[0025] figure 1 A preferred embodiment of the improved musical drum according to the present invention shown in conjunction with the bass drum 10 of the drum kit will be described.

[0026] Bass drum 10 includes a hollow cylindrical shell 12 and a head 14 . Also shown is the bass pedal assembly 16, which includes a support leg 18, a foot pedal 20, and a mallet 22 which, when depressed, causes the mallet 22 to strike the drumhead 14 to produce a drum sound. Mounted around an outer wall 24 of the shell 12 are a series of tensioning rods and lugs 26 for tensioning the drumhead 14 . Attached to and covering one end 28 of the shell 12 is a drumhead assembly 30 consisting of an outer ring 32 which fits securely over the end 28 of the shell 12 and is held tightly by tension rods and lugs 26 In that position, the tension rod and lug 26 also serve to adjust the tension of the drumhead 14 . Also part of the drumhead assembly 32 is a membrane 34 which is formed to straddle the interio...

Abstract

The invention relates to an improver drum for damping resonance drum, comprising a musical drum with a hollow shell having at least one opening and a drumhead with a tensioned membrane with a playing surface covering the opening, the present invention is an improved means to dampen resonating drum sounds consisting of an annular fixture mounted on a playing surface with the fixture having an outer concentric edge adjacent a flange member having an inner surface faced opposed to the playing surface, an inner concentric edge spaced apart from said playing surface and an area adjacent the inner concentric edge which defines an annular channel with the drumhead for receiving a damping member in fixed retained relation with the annular fixture. The annular fixture, including the damping member, is mounted to the playing surface by a series of incrementally spaced-apart non-adhesive means or non-adhesive means disposed in a continuous array provided for attaching the flange member to the playing surface. Included in near conformal reflation with the inner surface of the flange member is the means to reduce or eliminate vibration and vibrational-generated noise occurring along sections of the drumhead where the inner surface and playing surface coincide and touch, when the drumhead is struck.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates generally to the field of musical drums, and more particularly to an improved device for damping the sound of a drum to increase its aural appeal. Background technique [0002] A member of the percussion group of musical instruments, drums are known as membranous instruments because they contain at least one thin membrane, called a head. Drumheads are usually stretched over one or both ends of a shell that is a hollow cylinder or cylinder that can vary in width and height and even shape depending on the desired properties of the drum sound and other aesthetic factors. container. The sound is produced by striking the drumhead with a stick, mallet, brush, or even the player's hand. With modern band and orchestral drums, the drumhead is placed over the opening of the drum, which is usually mounted to the shell by an outer ring and secured to the shell by a series of tension rods which are threaded around the shell in correspondin...
